TransLink boosting service on some bus routes

TransLink is boosting bus service to prepare for changing travel patterns as people return to work and school.
This includes several priority bus routes that serve schools and businesses. TransLink adjusts service levels every three months to reflect changing demand and travel patterns.
Several key bus routes will see increased service beginning on Sept. 6, including route 430 (Brighouse Station / Metrotown Station). On that route, service is increasing to 12-minute frequencies (from 15-minute frequencies) during afternoon peak hours on weekdays, 3 to 6 p.m.
Route 601 (South Delta / Bridgeport Station) is increasing its service towards South Delta from every 20 minutes to every 15 minutes from 2 to 3 p.m. on weekdays.
Outside Richmond, a number of other routes’ schedules are also changing. For more information, visit translink.ca/schedules-and-maps/service-changes.
On Labour Day (Sept. 5), bus, SkyTrain, and SeaBus services will operate on a Sunday/ holiday schedule. Holiday fares will also be in effect, meaning people only need a 1-Zone fare to travel across all zones.
Ridership on TransLink’s system is currently around 75 per cent of pre-pandemic levels, while TransLink’s services remain at or near pre-pandemic levels. TransLink is constantly monitoring systemwide ridership trends and adjusting service on routes based on that data.
